Extremely cool ... that's even more hollowed out then I thought it was ..,Love it!!

Now that I've had one (SH445) for a few weeks I do have to say that it's a unique animal. It's different than my CT4M, different than my SH225, different than my AE185, different than my old Italian-made hollowbody, and different than my Chinese-made ES-335 copy.

While my SH225 is bright and punchy (mostly talking about unplugged tones here, as the SH225 has a really deep-sounding neck humbucker), the SH445 is mellower... deeper. But not as mellow and deep as my old hollowbody. And with dynamics that are more like a set-neck solidbody. Really great for both rock sounds and jazz sounds. For clean and jangly old vintage bridge pickup tones I think the SH225 wins, with the AE185 coming in somewhere in-between.

Comparing one of these Carvins and a Gibson is a completely wacky exercise, as they're completely different guitars built with entirely different approaches. One is solid pieces of routed out wood glued together without a single laminate, and the other is laminated tissuey layers braced together with blocks added in.
